I have girly girls - happy to suggest.
My girls have the Melissa and Doug one... eh. It's ok.
We've been through the Fisher Price one with all the cute little room accessories... eh.
But the one they love the best is the really tall one from Target.
I tired to get the link to show you, but for some reason the picture won't come up for me.
So I borrowed the link from toysrus to show you.

Friends of ours have a Melissa and Doug house, but I don't know if it was a recent purchase/still available. My son loves it :) I saw something similar at Target during Christmas and you could buy a lot of accessories for it.

Ella's third birthday is FAST approaching ::gasp::. I'm thinking she'd love a dollhouse and furniture and tiny people. I'd like to get something wooden that will last, but I'm completely lost in my searches online. I can buy Thomas the Train accessories in my sleep thanks to years of buying them for Nicolas, but dollhouses? What brands should I be googling (so far I'm up to my eyeballs in Plan Toys, etc)? What do your little girls like? Help? ;)
